Most of Knack’s Duffels and Totes are expanded by using the expansion zipper located on the base of the bag. So for example, our Expandable Travel Duffel stands 10” tall when unexpanded. However when expanded it goes to 14” tall. In this case giving you an extra 13 liters of volume for packing. The Convertible Duffel is the only duffel that expands like our Knack Packs (the depth increases when expanded as opposed to the height when expanded). Expansion zippers have a cord pull to differentiate it from the pocket opening zippers which have Knack metal pulls.
Knack Duffel and Tote Features
How do Knack Duffels and Totes expand?
Do all the Knack Totes and Duffels offer 2 carry options?
Yes! All our duffels and totes offer the option of adding a cross-body shoulder strap to the bag. So you can pick which carry option works best depending on what you are wearing, how much you have packed, or just which is more comfortable for you.
I want to keep my valuables safe. Do the Duffels and Totes have locking zippers?
Yes! Knack Duffels and Totes have locking zippers on the main compartment and the hidden, expandable travel compartment. With these zippers, you will be able to use metal, cord or cable locks to keep your valuables safe while you travel.
Do all the Duffels and Totes fit in airplane overhead compartments?
All of our Duffels and Totes (Regular Travel, Metro, and Convertible Duffel and the Town and Laptop Tote) fit in an airplane’s overhead compartment except for the Large Expandable Travel Duffel. But the Large Expandable Travel Duffel, when expanded, gives you 73 liters (that is not a typo) of packing volume. So the chances of you even wanting to bring it on board are minimal.
Do all the Duffels and Totes fit under airline seats?
The Convertible Duffel does fit under airline seating. The remaining duffels and totes do not meet the airlines under seat size requirements.
I know Knack Packs have a sleeve for a roller bag handle. Do your Duffels and Totes?
Yes! While Knackpackers love living a One Bag Life, sometimes they have to travel with a large rolling suitcase but still want to bring their Knack Bags with them. So now, all our expandable bags have a hidden trolley sleeve to slip over the handle of a roller bag and give you another way to carry your duffel or tote.
Which electronics fit best in these Duffels and Totes?
The Convertible Duffel can hold a 15.5” laptop in its computer pocket, The Metro Duffel, Laptop Tote and Town tote can hold a 16” laptop in their computer pocket. The Expandable Regular and Large Travel Duffel can hold a tablet in the fleece-lined pocket located in the lid of the duffel. All of these bags have a dedicated, easy reach, fleece-lined phone pocket.
